| 393 Anglezarke Moor | ||
"If people down south could see this place today there wouldn't be room to move!", said the lady we passed on our way up onto Anglezarke Moor. With a clear blue sky, and the sun reflected from the snow, the moors were certainly in their most attractive Alpine mood. Belmont means Beautiful Hill, but the original name sounded like "Hard Earn", so it was changed in 1804 to attract new workers. Perhaps if word gets out how nice it is round here they'll have to change the name back!
